After making this comment, you should refrain from EVER referring to me or anyone else as a retard or mongoloid. LMAO. "3. I would rather have Altuve have more ABs than nearly anyone in baseball...when he isn't hurt or got a sty on his eye. He's been one of the best hitters in baseball for half a decade or more, and only Astros fans are shitty enough to give up on him during a down year." This statement needs to be bronzed and kept where everyone can see it. I don't give a shit what you think, mongoloid. I know you don't and I'm glad. I'd be concerned if you started agreeing with me. But, I see that EVERYONE who commented on the batting order basically agreed with me. I didn't see anyone stepping in to agree with you. LOL LOL I don't give two shits what you think, either.

ONE of us here seems to think where players bat in the lineup is not important.

How often have we seen one of our pitchers have a bad inning and give up a lead, and then the game just cruises forward?

"Why hasn't Josh James been recalled yet!?!?" - everyone on Astros twitter for the last four weeks.

I guess one way to silence the critics about how your team is underperforming your X-W/L record is to bomb games until the X-W/L record comes down to the actual one.

So is James. You can't rely on either of them.

Imagine wasting all that time with James over the last 2 years, then have him on the IL for a year only to bring him back to the MLB, and presto...he still sucks.

Dusty has a strange way of determining who is available in the pen. He had to be careful tonight because he didn't have Garcia, Stanek, Graveman, or Pressly available. Out of those four, only Graveman should not have been available. They had an off day on Thursday and Garcia only threw 10 pitches last night, Stanek 13, and Pressly 16. If those three can't be used two days in a row, it's ridiculous.

Dusty can’t help that no matter who’s on the mound, they have to pitch their asses off because their sorry offense doesn’t know what “beating the shift” means.

Dusty can’t help that no matter who’s on the mound, they have to pitch their asses off because their sorry offense doesn’t know what “beating the shift” means. The Padres took them to school tonight on how to hit to the opposite field. That is how they put the four runs on Framber in the second inning. Any team is better at beating the shift than the Astros because they always try to hit the ball through the shift. Last night, when we left the left side open, Hosmer put a bunt down the third baseline and could have walked to first base. Either our hitters are too stubborn to try to beat the shift or our hitting "gurus", Centron and Snitker, are clueless as to how to coach them to beat it. The only two that we have who sometimes try to beat the shift are Brantley and Tucker. Sometimes, Yordan tries. But, you NEVER see Altuve attempt to beat the shift. His sole purpose on any swing is to try to hit a home run. The result is a weak popup or ground ball.

Since the ASB, Altuve's OBP is .309. Correa's is .330 and Brantley's is .367. It's reasonable to conclude Dusty should've moved Uncle Mike to leadoff by now, but it's also reasonable to presume he didn't cause he probably thought being Altuve, he would've broken out of his funk by now

You regularly mention how many agree with you in order to support your pointSo, in your opinion, I have to mention the names of certain posters who basically agree with me before assuming we share the same opinion? I don't know about you, but, I can read a comment or opinion and determine whether it is basically the same as mine. I have never asked for anyone to support my point. I make my point and everyone else if free to agree or disagree. Which they choose isn't important.

He seems incapable of figuring that out on his own.
